Thank you Florida Legislature and Governor DeSantis for bringing some long needed sanity to this stupid loophole.

I saw that no pending litigation is a prerequisite. It seems like the would afford a squatter the opportunity to draw things out in court

This was the most civil solution. The alternative would have been violence by men with dark hearts.

This is a smart decision. I guess it’s going to take each and every state enacting similar laws, specifically defending the homeowners rights. Something most assumed already was defended by the law.

Unfortunately, this law cannot be used for parents trying to kick out their deadbeat children...

There's a good reason New Yorkers - including Sean Hannity - are fleeing to Florida.

NY squatter allows homeowner to take family belongings from late father’s house

A New York squatter who has been living inside a dead man’s home for the last six years finally allowed the homeowners to collect family belongings that were left inside.

Donna Kent recently gained access to her father’s Staten Island home after his death in 2012, but was met with a self-aware squatter named Kyle when she arrived to claim her father’s prized possessions.

I see a big risk gap by exempting former tenants on a written or “ oral” agreement.

Always was taught that in real estate…all terms must be in writing.

I wonder how many squatters will be reported on July 1st.
